• Date and length fine. AGF on book sources. I would say NOT ALT1 as it's a little dull. The original or ALT2 are better (my preference would be for the Mayor one). QPQ done. No close paraphrasing. Picture licences fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:44, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
